Chalk up an extra day for Black History Month. Only thing I learned about black history this year is Aaron McGruder is a comedic genius. Don't get mad, just peep the social commentary.
So I woke up this morning and said. "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Sometimes I say it out loud. I didn't today. But I thought it. I woke up in the morning, rolled over and thanked God, used the facilities and washed my hands...and get back to the training. Not quite Wayne, but hey, "I'm a corporate thug, I run with a player circle."
Motivation for the day...
So I quit AIM and Facebook for lent. I was then told by the First Lady that, "It's like you don't exist." We both laughed. Nothing's funny, but we laughed anyway. I find that to be a tad interesting. In that spare time away from the internet community I've decided to be more productive in the facet of "furthering my life" and whatnot. You can e-mail me, hit me through my blog, or call me. I'm pretty accessible...if you have access. That got me to thinking that people are doing way too much on the internet and should really take an interest in getting to know people in real life. Or through their blogs...Anyway, that's it for now. LETSGETIT.

Im me so who you? Your not me
LETSGETIT(2-28-2008)
Whats Jumping Jack I'm logging in for the first time ever. I don't think you guys really understand the significance of this post so I will explain something to you. Me, I am not really into the whole internet thing unless I am downloading music, reading the news, or trying to expand my knowledge. I have never had a facebook or a myspace and don't really ever plan on it. So this is a big step for me you feel me. Allow me to reintroduce myself...
I'm a student at the University of Houston you know I'm getting my school boy on. Unfortunately I did not really get serious about school til this past year. Oh well better late than never. I am a Finance and Economics major. What will I do when I graduate? I don't know. I am a firm believer that everything will work out in life as long as you do the right thing. I am a realist. I was recently introduced to the four noble truths and the noble eightfold path and have been loving life ever since. I have no aspirations of working for a corporation. No sir not me. I believe that there are many paths in life that end at success and there are twice as many paths that end in failure. I know the probability of success reduces drastically as soon as you decide to take an alternate route, but imagine the world if everyone followed that main path. Most people are risk averse when it comes to their life, just complacent to be "in the box", me I cant do it. I mean i can do it but I wont do it. Why do something for the rest of your life if you are not going to be happy? Just for money, or to satisfy someone else? Your life is your own so why live it to make someone else happy? I want to be successful and will but it will just take more work than the average person. I don't mind I enjoy working. I'm not really afraid of failure because you only fail when you stop trying and I will not quit until i achieve my goal. So like the title of the blog I take no days off, until I achieve success.

We're here now...
Mic Check 1, 2, 1, 2...
Smiley signing on. It's February 28 in the two thousand and eighth year of our Lord. It's a leap year, so holler at me February 29th. We're here now, you're old news. I'd like to introduce myself of half of the collective of no suit, no tie. Joe Price, taking no Ferris Bueller's. Who am I, and why do I have time to write a blog? Cause I am 2 weeks away from unemployment. And still taking no days off. Walk with me...
We had a real strong LETSGETIT movement going on through the last year or so. You rocked with me, you rock with me. I rock with you. That's where we stand. Well I graduated. It took 4 years flat. I was having a good time with that college business though. You know, we had a good thing going. So I decided, this is my life. If I'm gonna be sitting at a 9 to 5...or in my case an 8 to 5...everyday, living life for nights and weekends, I might as well surround myself with all the people I know and love. No homo. So we got a job. We were supposed to do that through about November. That "go sit in an office everyday and do the same thing everyday" business aint all that. I appreciate it for what it is. Really. It pays the bills. I eat good, sleep good, play hard, have fun. But come down to it, without going into further detail...I can't do it anymore. So I won't be. "But Joe, if you're not going to be going to work, how are you taking no days off?" My homeboy Kevin once put it to me this way. "You think about success all wrong. You think of it like graduating and getting a job and sitting in a desk 5 days a week from 9 to 5. I think of it like I'm going to do what I want to do to make money. I'm just getting my degree as a backup plan." I respect that. I do. That's not what I'm doing...exactly. I don't really have everything figured out, but I'm well aware that God talks to you in his own way, so I feel like even though me and God haven't really had the most 2-way conversations that he still guides me in the right direction. I had an epiphany that I should just go for what I want out there in this world and not settle. So, in my case, I feel that route is higher education. I once told somebody, "I think the key to chasing your dreams is chasing them with the intention to catch them." Then I thought about it, and I believed it. So that's what we're gonna do. Worst case scenario...crash and burn. Best case scenario, be a very successful and happy man. Or fall somewhere in the middle. 2/1, I can deal with those odds. So in these next few months we're gonna be going hard on the higher education grind. Test preparation, personal statement, etc. and looking for a job too, in case that "offer you can't refuse" comes up. I've got a lot of free time. Mainly because all time is free. If I'm not doing something, then I'm doing something else. So blog with me.
